"It's the Music Man. It's good. You'll like it."

Those are the words that my second grade BFF Elizabeth spoke to me at a sleepover.  She wanted to watch the movie.  I asked what this was, and she answered, "It's the Music Man.  It's good.  You'll like it."

I found myself saying the same thing to Sarah and Jack as I took them to the Plano West Senior High School production.  I also explained the plot a little.

The production was INSANE. 

From the sets they built themselves.  To the talent. (The student who played Mirian the Librarian could be on Broadway tomorrow.  I kid you NOT.)   It seemed like one step away from Broadway.  How can these possibly be high school kids???

Sigh.

I wish I had talent.

(Do you ever feel that way when you hear a great singer or watch a gymnast? 
No? 
Oh. 
Maybe it's just me.) 

"Oh we got trouble.  Right here in River City.  With a capital T and that rhymes with P and that stands for pool."


"Yeah, we got trouble. Right here in River City. [right here]  Gotta find a way to keep those young boys moral after school. [Trouble, trouble, trouble]."
 

 
After Professor Harold Hill was arrested and is leading the band.  "The Minuet in G. Think, boys." 
 

These pics truly don't do the experience justice.  INCREDIBLE!!! Might have to see if I can find the movie on Netflix. :)
